Good news. But I dont understand.

How can magnetism pull plastic out of sea water?

Plastic is not made of iron-based metal. Its made of petroleum (ie carbon).

A big magnet in your hand can pick up nails, but it doesnt pick up pieces of plastic.

Another pseudo-scientific scam. Only certain metals and metallic compounds can be magnetic. Magnetic fields can also be generated electrically. Some supercooled gasses can exhibit magnetic behavior, but their temperatures are well below the freezing point of water.

Do not waste your time on this bogus fecal matter.
